Claridge: Guidolin’s Swansea appointment 'baffling'
Mark Lawrenson and Steve Claridge discuss the appointment of Francesco Guidolin as the new head coach of Swansea.
The former Udinese manager will work alongside Alan Curtis – who had been placed in interim charge – until the end of the season, with the Italian having the final say on team selection.
“They are normally good at these things - on this one it’s baffling because they don’t seem to know what they are doing,” says Claridge.
Lawrenson says: “We all look at Swansea and say how well is this football club run, but now it’s almost like the toss of a coin [to make decisions].”
